We produced a wide range of letters for our combined classwork and homework yesterday. To write a good recount letter you need to include lots of description. That means your letter will be quite long, with lots of adjectives describing sights, sounds, smells and feelings. You should use similes too. Can you find adjectives and similes in my example letter on the two boards shown above? If you write a very short letter, it will not get a high exam mark. In a longer letter, make sure you write in proper sentences and paragraphs. Check your full stops and capital letters. They are very important.
To show how important punctuation is, look at the example on the board above. Without the punctuation it sounds as though the robbers are going to smash a window with a plastic teaspoon, and the man in the cafe is stirring his tea and playing the violin at the same time. The punctuation makes the true meaning much clearer.
